ABOUT ME

Grew up in Berlin, moved to Istanbul, studied in London and Oxford, now back in Berlin for my PhD. I am in this world and I enjoy it very much. What is the reason that lifes are lived so parallel and detached from another? I cannot see the point in it and couchsurfing is a great tool to make sure not to fall into such an attitude. How perverted is the fact that people have to spend time and energy to make money in order to pay a hotel room in order to watch other people from the distance and say they've been to "London" or "Paris"! I want to feel you guys!

PHILOSOPHY

no idea, but I live a wonderful life so far...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's just great, institutional benevolence!

I used couch surfing and hospitality club to make some great experiences traveling in East Turkey, France, England, America and the Middle East and Asia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Not taken a photograph

Teach, Learn, Share

Travelling I find first of all a matter of watching and listening. This might be hard sometimes to align with some basic ideas of engagement but I really think that it is not my right to go somewhere and without taking a moment to look and learn start telling everybody how superior and much more sophisticated my values are...
